Odds N Ends
There has been a lot of baseball the last few weeks. And the boy definitely has been working. This week, we added an old friend to his team. Z has played with him for two years and then we left our old team. Now, he is joining our team. Zachary couldn’t be happier. On Tuesday, …
It’s the Great Waterfall, Charlie Brown
Last weekend, we finally had a baseball free weekend. And mommy wanted to get out in nature and see beautiful waterworks. So after much fretting, we opted for the “Best Waterfall in NJ”.

Last minutes cancellations. A pop up rain shower that washed away our chalk tribute. But in the end, we made it work. Thankfully, the rain was short lived. Mr. Softee …
